Dominio de Pingus - Ribera del Duero - Flor de Pingus - Red - 2022

Wine:

The little brother of Pingus, the 2022 Ribera del Duero Flor de Pingus Red offers a concentrated expression of the estate’s expertise, capturing the brilliance of its elder sibling. Sourced from old vines across five meticulously chosen sectors of the Pingus terroir, this wine undergoes a meticulous 18-month aging in French oak barrels, 20% of which are new, elevating it to a whole new level. Freshness shines through, as always, despite the wine's considerable depth, and the finesse is exceptional. It’s a powerful, aromatic, balanced wine with great elegance — a “mini Pingus” that gives you a glimpse of the giant’s true potential. Rated 95/100 by Parker.

A brilliant winemaker, Peter Sisseck — known as Pingus — revolutionized the Spanish wine landscape. In the 1990s, he founded Dominio de Pingus in the heart of Ribera del Duero, recognizing the potential of ancient Tempranillo vines.

With organic and biodynamic farming, nearly century-old vines, indigenous yeast fermentation, luxurious oak aging, prized terroirs, and native grape varieties, everything contributes to the uniqueness of this iconic wine, which has risen to the status of a classified cru.

Regarded as one of the greatest wines in the world, Pingus has earned 100/100 Parker ratings multiple times. It has continuously led the charge in the revival of the Iberian Peninsula’s wine scene. Alongside it, discover two other wines that perfectly represent the excellence of the estate.
